Former Winnipeg Jets backup goaltender Laurent Brossoit faces another lengthy absence with new injury.

On Thursday, Chicago Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson confirmed Thursday that former Winnipeg Jets goaltender Laurent Brossoit underwent hip surgery this offseason and is expected to miss significant time. 

It’s the latest setback in what’s been a frustrating series of injuries for the Port Alberni, B.C. native, who hasn’t played since suiting up for the Jets during the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

After signing a two-year deal with Chicago in July 2024, Brossoit missed the entire 2024-25 season due to multiple knee surgeries, first to repair a torn meniscus in August, then an arthroscopic procedure in November. 

Early Takeaways From Jets Training Camp: Groups, Players To Watch, Position BattlesBreaking down the early takeaways of Winnipeg Jets Training Camp including storylines from each group, position battles to watch and prospects to keep an eye on.

With this latest surgery, his return timeline is uncertain, and his NHL future remains in question. Jets fans will remember Brossoit not just for his on-ice talent, but for his professionalism and quiet leadership in the dressing room. He returned to Winnipeg for a second stint ahead of the 2023-24 season and played a vital role in the Jets playoff push that year with a 15-5-2 record with a 2.00 goals against average and a .927 save percentage that led to three shutouts in 23 appearances.

Brossoit's time in Winnipeg was memorable as he appeared in 77 games with the Jets and posted a 40-24-5 record with a 2.51 goals against average and a .917 save percentage. 

The 32-year-old netminder made his final appearance in Game 1 of the Jets' first-round series against Colorado, where he started in net at Canada Life Centre. It wasn't the first time Brossoit was heavily relied upon in a big spot as he also started in a Game 1 during the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs with the Vegas Golden Knights. In 140 NHL games, Brossoit has compiled a 64-46-13 record, along with a 2.64 GAA, a .911 save percentage, and six shutouts. He also holds a 5-2 playoff record across 10 appearances.

Should Winnipeg Consider Bringing In Dillon Dube?The Winnipeg Jets could look to add another bottom-six forward with Dillon Dube available following the controversial Hockey Canada legal cases. 

The Detroit Red Wings could look to add another depth defenseman with Cal Foote available following the controversial Hockey Canada legal cases.

The hockey news cycle has taken a significant turn following the acquittal of five Hockey Canada players who were at the center of a long-standing criminal and civil case involving an alleged sexual assault in a hotel room.

Dillon Dubé (Forward – Calgary Flames), Michael McLeod (Centre – New Jersey Devils), Alex Formenton (Forward – Ottawa Senators), Cal Foote (Defenceman – New Jersey Devils), and Carter Hart (Goaltender – Philadelphia Flyers) were all found not guilty. The court reached this decision after determining that the complainant’s testimony contained inconsistencies, and crucial video evidence contradicted key aspects of her account. As a result, the allegations were deemed to lack sufficient credibility and legal merit.

Following the conclusion of the trial, the NHL stated that the players will be allowed to sign with a team on October 15th and could return to playing full-time on December 1st. It begs the question of if NHL General Managers are willing to outweigh talent over controversy and take in a player that could create a dramatic scene around the organization?

Insider reports have come out on the players and that some teams are reportedly looking to add some of the players. One of the most highly-talked about names is Hart, as he's a quality starting goaltender that is talented enough to take over a starting job with one mentioned contender being the Edmonton Oilers. One name out of the five that could be looked at in Detroit is Cal Foote. 

The 6-foot-4 physical defenseman was once considered a top prospect, selected 14th overall in the 2017 NHL Draft, before his career was impacted by the criminal case. Still just 26 years old, Foote has shown he can contribute effectively, even if not through flashy point totals. He holds a career +24 rating in the NHL and made the most of his time with the Tampa Bay Lightning from 2020 to 2023, appearing in 117 games while averaging just over 13 minutes per night in a bottom-pairing role. 

Despite limited ice time, he made a noticeable impact, ranking third among Tampa defensemen (with at least 60 games played) in hits per 60 minutes (6.24) and fourth in blocked shots per 60 (4.08) during that span. 

He was eventually moved to Nashville and then signed with New Jersey ahead of the 2023-24 season before leaving the team to go through the legal system with the criminal case. He still put up solid numbers with the Devils with a points and a +3 rating through four games. He could be looked at as a lottery ticket option for the Red Wings similar to recent signing Jacob Benard-Docker as Foote is a rare right-shot defenseman and could be valuable on the team's third pairing. 

He is at least worth an extended look as he is one of the players involved in the case to be getting second looks from NHL teams.

This is an advertorial for True Hockey, which The Hockey News owner W. Graeme Roustan acquired.

True Hockey is built on passion and precision.

Every stick, skate and piece of gear is the result of obsessive engineering, material mastery, and an unrelenting focus on tomorrow’s performance.

From Stanley Cup champions and Olympic gold medallists to future stars, True is the choice of players at every level who want uncompromising performance.

Here are eight True athletes who are entrenched in the spotlight in the NHL, PWHL and CHL.

Mitch Marner, RW, Vegas Golden Knights

Vegas, get ready for Mitch Marner.

The 28-year-old is set to dazzle with his new team after playing nine seasons as a cornerstone of the Toronto Maple Leafs’ core. And he has the chance to take an impressive career to the next level.

Last season, Marner put up a career-high 75 assists and 102 points, which were top five numbers among all NHL players. He even set up the goal that won Canada the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Brady Tkachuk, LW, Ottawa Senators

If you want to know how to be a modern-day power forward, watch Brady Tkachuk play for the Senators.

He drives the net, parks himself in high-danger areas and piles up the shots and hits like few others.

Last season, Tkachuk took 110 shots in high-danger areas, the fourth-most in the NHL, while 16 of his 29 goals came in that zone. And in 2023-24, he scored the most goals by a player who recorded at least 290 hits in a season, with 37 tallies and 294 checks.

Jake Sanderson, D, Ottawa Senators

Jake Sanderson is already a top-pairing defenseman, trusted in all situations.

The 23-year-old recorded 199 speed bursts of 20 miles per hour and faster, including 27 speed bursts of more than 22 mph. Those were both the second-most among NHL defensemen, according to NHL Edge. After recording 32 and 38 points in his first two seasons, Sanderson had a career-high 11 goals, 46 assists and 57 points last season.

In his third NHL campaign, Sanderson finished 10th in Norris Trophy voting. If he keeps rising up the ranks, it won’t be long before he’s a true stalwart contender for the defender of the year award.

Connor Hellebuyck, G, Winnipeg Jets

Connor Hellebuyck is proving he’s one of the most dominant NHL goalies of his generation.

Hellebuyck, 32, set career bests in wins (47), goals-against average (2.00), save percentage (.925) and shutouts (eight) last season for the Jets, and he’s collecting hardware.

He became the fourth goalie in the NHL’s Expansion Era to win the Hart Trophy as the league’s most valuable player. He’s also won the Vezina Trophy three times as the goalie of the year and the William M. Jennings Trophy twice for the team that allowed the fewest goals against. He’s backstopped Team USA internationally, and he’s known for durability, regularly being among the league leaders in games started.

Jordan Binnington, G, St. Louis Blues

Jordan Binnington is capable of world-class performances on the biggest stages. The St. Louis Blues called him up from the AHL in 2018-19, and he backstopped them from the bottom of the NHL to the first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history. He set an NHL rookie record for most playoff wins in a single year, with 16.

Last season, the fiery Binnington earned the net on Team Canada’s 4 Nations squad and proved doubters wrong, saving 31 of 33 shots in the final and making highlight-reel stops in overtime to help his team win it all.

Natalie Spooner, RW, Toronto Scepters

Natalie Spooner cemented herself as one of women’s hockey’s biggest names in the PWHL’s inaugural season in 2023-24.

She led the league with 20 goals and 27 points in just 24 games for Toronto and was named the top forward and most valuable player that year.

On the world stage, Spooner has won two Olympic gold medals and three World Championship titles. That’s a golden legacy for an inspirational figure who balances motherhood and elite competition.

Kelly Pannek, C, Minnesota Frost

Pannek is no stranger to gold medals, either.

With four World Championship gold medals and an Olympic championship in 2018, Pannek is a respected veteran presence and proven winner. She also won two national titles in the NCAA as a key contributor for Minnesota and won the Walter Cup in back-to-back years as part of the Minnesota Frost’s leadership group.

Ethan Belchetz, LW, Windsor Spitfires

Belchetz possesses a rate size-skill combination at 6-foot-5 and 227 pounds.

The top pick in the 2024 OHL draft produced 17 goals and 21 assists for 38 points as a 16-year-old rookie while winning gold at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.

Belchetz is projected as a top NHL draft prospect and rising star to watch. He embodies the next generation – big, skilled and choosing True early in his career.

At its core, True is hockey’s elite engineer, the quiet disruptor in a space crowded with trends. Every product is purpose-built and relentlessly refined to deliver a genuine edge on the ice. From the feel of the puck on your blade to the response under your stride, each innovation is crafted with clear intention.

Over 55 percent of NHL goalies wear True gear, and 90 percent wear True skates, which is the most dominant position of any product category in the NHL. True is also committed to domestic manufacturing, with world-class goalie equipment handcrafted in Mascouche, Que.

For those who demand more than flash, True is the standard: purpose driven, obsessively precise, and always ahead of the curve.

The St. Louis Blues' training camp has finally started, but prior to the first practices, GM Doug Armstrong spoke to the media, talking about several topics.

Armstrong spoke about second chances when referring to Milan Lucic's PTO and how he isn't taking a trip down memory lane in his final season as general manager. But one quote that stood out was his comments about newly acquired defenseman Logan Mailloux.

"I was honest with him; it's his job to lose," said Armstrong. "He understands that we have experienced players ahead of him in Parayko and Faulk. But our belief, I told you when we gave up Bolduc, it wasn't to get a career minor-leaguer."

It's rare for a manager to say that to a player, let alone say that to the media. It shows that there is both immense pressure but also a belief that Mailloux has the skill set to be a valued addition to the Blues' blueline.

When Mailloux was first acquired, Armstrong was under the belief that he was NHL-ready, and now he's doubled down.

But Armstrong isn't the only one who believes in Mailloux. The 22-year-old said it himself back in early July that he is ready for the next step in his career.

"I’m really excited to come to St. Louis," Mailloux said. "I think they’ve got a great group of guys, and I’m really looking forward to continuing my journey, on and off the ice. Coming to St. Louis and being able to make a positive impact, whether it’s on the ice or off the ice, I think I want to come in there and be able to do some good. It’s pretty nice, to be honest. I think they’re giving me a chance here trading for me. I think they gave up a good prospect, a good player. I think I’m NHL-ready as well. I think I’m ready to make that jump full-time. Hopefully, come in here and be able to contribute to some wins and some success next year."

Standing 6-foot-3, 213 pounds, Mailloux comes into St. Louis with eight games of NHL experience, scoring two goals and five points with the Montreal Canadiens. He had his issues on the defensive side of the puck during his brief call-ups to the NHL, but Belle River, Ont., native is a smooth skater who will improve the Blues' breakout and transition offense.

In the AHL last season, Mailloux notched 12 goals and 33 points in 63 games and the year prior, he recorded 14 goals and 47 points in 72 games. 

There's pressure on either side of Mailloux, but he's been brought in to be an NHL player this year. Justin Faulk and Colton Parayko are the right-handed defenseman ahead of him, and Adam Jiricek, the Blues' 2024 first-round pick, will be clicking at his heels next year. 

"We're hoping to grow with him. When do you know that you have an NHL defenseman? I'll let you know after 200 games," said Armstrong on Wednesday. "He's got a long way to go. I'm not too concerned how the next month goes but he'd like to get off to a good start and I'd like him to get off to a good start."

Mailloux will almost undoubtedly start the season in the NHL, but the Blues have large aspirations, and if he underperforms, Armstrong won't be hesitant to find someone else. 

Blues Focused On Player's Potential, Confident Isolated Incident Is Behind Logan Mailloux - Community PostMARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. -- The comments started pouring in quickly once St. Louis Blues fans realized when the cost for acquiring promising 22-year-old defenseman Logan Mailloux for a more polished 22-year-old in forward Zack Bolduc would be on the table.

Anthony Stolarz wants to get all of the contract stuff out of the way before the Toronto Maple Leafs’ season begins.

The 31-year-old spoke on Thursday after the first group’s session at Maple Leafs camp, and said he hopes to get a deal worked out before opening night on Oct. 8. “I mean, our ultimate goal is to win the Stanley Cup,” he said.

“So once the season starts, that’s all I want to focus on, and that’s kind of all I want my attention to be. Like I said, I’m going to let my agent and (Brad Treliving) talk that out, and hopefully we can get something done here soon.”

Stolarz is coming off the best season of his NHL career. He appeared in 43 games with the Maple Leafs (the most games he’s ever played in an NHL season), winning 21 games and sporting a .926 save percentage.

Why The Maple Leafs Want To Get Anthony Stolarz's Contract Done In Short Order The Toronto Maple Leafs are confident they’ll get Anthony Stolarz locked up long-term.

The netminder dealt with a couple of injuries during his first year in Toronto. He needed knee surgery in the middle of the year and then suffered a concussion against the Florida Panthers in the second round of the playoffs.

Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving said on Wednesday during media day that he was hopeful the two sides could find common ground.

“We've been engaged with Anthony and his representatives,” Treliving said.

“I don't get into a whole lot of discussion about contracts. We're seeing if it can fit. It's got to work for the player. He's got to feel comfortable. It's got to work for us. I'm confident, until proven otherwise, that we can find something that's going to work, and hopefully we can do that in short order.”

Maple Leafs Reveal 73-Player Training Camp Roster For 2025-26The Toronto Maple Leafs have unveiled their 2025 training camp roster and it includes 44 forwards, 23 defensemen, and six goaltenders. On-ice sessions begin September 18 and Toronto's first pre-season game takes place on September 21 against the Ottawa Senators. The entire list of players is below.

Stolarz also mentioned that losing to the Panthers in May motivated him more than ever this summer. He worked on his foot speed, cardio, and angle work in hopes of taking another step this season.

As for contract talks, he says he’s just waiting to get the message from his agent that a deal is done.

“I kind of let him deal with that. At the end of the day, my job is to go out there and stop the puck. And with camp starting today, being the first day, that’s kind of what I want to focus on,” Stolarz said. “Just go out there and pick up right where I left off last year. We’ve had some good talks, some good dialect, so hopefully we get something here done soon.”

Breaking down the early takeaways of Winnipeg Jets Training Camp including storylines from each group, position battles to watch and prospects to keep an eye on.

The Winnipeg Jets opened Training Camp on Thursday, sparking plenty of conversation with how they’ve divided their roster into three groups. The first on-ice sessions began at 9:30 AM Central Time at the Hockey For All Centre.

As camp gets underway, we're taking a closer look at the groupings to see what insight they might offer, whether it's coaching strategy, potential line combinations, or intriguing pairings between seasoned veterans and up-and-coming prospects. These early decisions could shape key storylines, open doors for player development, and give certain players a real shot at earning a spot on the final roster.

Jets Announce Training Camp Roster and ScheduleThe Winnipeg Jets have announced their training camp roster and schedule for the upcoming week's training camp. 

Is Domenic DiVincentiis the Jets Third Goalie?

From the crease, we see Domenic DiVincentiis jump to the first group alongside reigning league MVP Connor Hellebuyck and could signal that he has become the team's new third or fourth goalie option. The 21-year-old Bolton native did quite well in his first pro season with a 13-12-3 record, a 2.84 goals against average and a .906 save percentage in 28 starts with the Manitoba Moose last season. He started off his pre-season on a very strong note, shutting down some of the Montreal Canadiens top prospects with 38 saves.

In an exclusive interview during the off-season, DiVincentiis revealed his goal for the season is to make his NHL debut and earning time in Training Camp with Hellebuyck and learning from the league's best could be a good sign that his goal is within reach.

Will Danny Zhilkin Stay Hot?

After an impressive showing during the Prospect Showcase, 21-year-old forward Danny Zhilkin finds himself mixed in with names like Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele and Gabe Vilardi. Being able to learn a thing or two from the trio that produces one of the most lethal lines in the NHL will be a very good thing for Zhilkin's development. The Russian product will also be put together with veteran Tanner Pearson and could see minutes on a line with him. Being given top opportunities and showcasing he has what it takes to stand out in such a star-studded group could help Zhilkin rise up the rankings quickly. 

Isaak Phillips to Learn From More NHL Talent

One of the quietest rising prospects in the Jets system is Isaak Phillips, the former Chicago Blackhawks fifth round pick back in 2020. The 23-year-old Barrie native has been making a name for himself in the off-season, practicing with names like Mitch Marner, John Tavares, Sam Bennett, Robert Thomas and many other big names with longtime NHLer Kevin Bieksa coaching and leading drills.

He finds himself in his group alongside Josh Morrissey and Dylan DeMelo, who can both help continue Phillips's development and like Zhilkin, if he can standout with other big names around him, especially blueliners, it could lead to better opportunities for Phillips this upcoming season.

Group 2 and 3 Poised For Position Battle Fireworks

The second group appears to be a classroom for veterans Jonathan Toews and Gustav Nyquist as they will be paired up with four young players that will be looking to leave their mark. The first is Cole Perfetti, who will likely play alongside Toews and Nyquist on the second line, followed by three high-end prospects in Parker Ford, Colby Barlow and Brad Lambert. 

While being mixed in with some bottom-six regulars like Jaret Anderson-Dolan and David Gustafsson, this group could provide the most pop as the trio of young talents could look to learn a few things from the veterans and quickly use it to their advantage in trying to get a leg up in the depth chart. This group will include the most real position battles out of them all as Anderson-Dolan and Gustafsson to keep their spots at the bottom of the main roster while fending off the young Jets fighting for a chance at the NHL.  

This is the same story in the third group as youngsters like Kevin He, Brayden Yager, Jacob Cloutier and Nikita Chibrikov will all be looking to leave their mark and will force names around them to pick up the pace if they want to keep their main roster spots like Alex Iafallo, Nino Niederreiter and Philip Di Giuseppe. 

Should Winnipeg Consider Bringing In Dillon Dube?The Winnipeg Jets could look to add another bottom-six forward with Dillon Dube available following the controversial Hockey Canada legal cases. 

The on-ice portion of training camp opened Thursday morning for the Carolina Hurricanes.

Perhaps one of the biggest points of interest at the onset was that forward Logan Stankoven was lined up at center between Andrei Svechnikov and Jackson Blake.

Stankoven, 22, was acquired by the Hurricanes at the trade deadline last year in exchange for Mikko Rantanen and he instantly found a fit in Carolina, signing an eight-year extension as well.

Professionally, Stankoven has primarily played only on the wings, but before that, the Kamloops native had played center all of his life.

"I'm happy to be there," Stankoven told The Hockey News. "That's where I played my whole career and it just feels natural to me."

Stankoven said that Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour had approached him about playing center during their end-of-year meeting, so it was something he knew might happen at camp.

Now, it's confirmed that he'll be getting the chance to try and win back a spot in his natural position as the team's 2C.

"He's willing," said Canes coach Rod Brind'Amour on the reason to try Stankoven at center. "You have to be willing to understand that there's a lot of work that has to be put in to play center. A lot of little things that people don't really understand. And you have to be willing to take the bumps a little bit. But the fact that he's done it in the past helps. We know what kind of kid he is and he's willing to take on whatever we hand him." 

"I want to take full advantage of the opportunity," Stankoven said. "We have a good group of guys in here that I can learn from like [Jordan Staal] and [Sebastian Aho]. Now it's up to me to learn and follow in those guys' footsteps."

Despite being one of the smaller players in the NHL — Stankoven is officially listed as 5-foot-8 and 165lbs — he plays bigger than his physical stature and has shown that he can play in the league.

But the question remains, can he play center in this league?

"You don't see a lot of smaller centermen, but I'm gonna try and do my thing," Stankoven said. "If it works, great, if not, so be it. I'm gonna put my full effort into it and see where it gets me."

The New York Rangers are going all the way back for their centennial jersey.

Former captain Mark Messier modelled the 1926-inspired jersey, which will be worn 10 times this season, including on opening night against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Oct. 7.

"This sweater holds 100 years of history," Messier said in a team video. "It's a symbol of pride for the players, a badge of honor for the faithful and a standard for the city of New York. Through every trend, era and generation, it remains undeniably ours."

Undeniably ours. pic.twitter.com/MAZ9tVwrNW

— New York Rangers (@NYRangers) September 18, 2025

The Rangers kept their diagonal wordmark as the crest of the jersey, just like it was in 1926-27, when they entered the NHL. But unlike their current primary jerseys, which has a slanted, two-color font, the Blueshirts used a non-slanted, white font inspired by the 1926 version.

In fact, the jersey itself largely replicates their first version, with the same shade of blue and the traditional piping on the sleeves and hem. For the red and white, they used a deep red shade and rich cream accents to "reflect the passage of time," the team said.

On the inside collar, there's a "1926 Garden Marquee" design showing the date of of their first-ever NHL game, Nov. 16, 1926.

New York's centennial shield shits on the left shoulder.

The Rangers will wear this uniform against four Original Six squads – Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs – as well as state rivals, the New York Islanders and Buffalo Sabres. They'll also wear it against the Minnesota Wild and Carolina Hurricanes.

Each game will have a theme regarding the team's history, such as the birth of the franchise, milestones and moments, the Original Six Era, the new Madison Square Garden, fan favorites, Rangers legends and more.

Earlier this week, the Red Wings unveiled their centennial uniform, which they'll wear for at least 12 games. While Detroit's franchise entered the league as the Cougars, then became the Falcons before it was called the Red Wings, the Rangers name is also entering its 100th year.

There is some bad news on the injury front for the Pittsburgh Penguins and one of their top prospects.

Forward Rutger McGroarty is out indefinitely with an upper-body injury, it was announced Thursday morning by Penguins' general manager and president of hockey operations Kyle Dubas. 

Dubas also clarified the statuses of four other players, as veteran forward Noel Acciari is week-to-week with a core muscle injury, 2025 first-round pick Bill Zonnon will miss 4-6 weeks with a lower-body injury, 2025 second-round pick Peyton Kettles is week-to-week with an upper-body injury, and forward prospect Tanner Howe continues his rehab from ACL surgery in April.

McGroarty, 21, was acquired last summer from the Winnipeg Jets, and he appeared in eight NHL games with the Penguins last season. He broke camp in 2024 and spent three games with the Penguins before his AHL re-assignment to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (WBS). He shined in his second stint - along with fellow forward prospect Ville Koivunen - registering a goal and three points in five games before a lower-body injury ended his season prematurely.

Top-20 Penguins' Prospects 2025: Young Forward Keeps Getting Better And BetterHeading into the 2025-26 season, the Pittsburgh Penguins have shifted the focus to youth and development.

Dubas stressed that the team wants to approach McGroarty's injury situation with caution due to his age and his potential to make an impact on the team moving forward. 

"It's going to be a little bit more of an indefinite timeline," Dubas said. "It's just something that, because of the player, his age, and the potential that he has, we just have to be very patient with Rutger on that one. So, we'll continue to update that as we go."
